Aside from unique identifiers used in databases and law enforcement processes, fingerprints could also serve for a more acute sense of touch - according to a new study.
Not only are fingerprints on shiny stainless-steel surfaces unattractive, but they also attack the surface. A new nanocoating that is being developed by Fraunhofer researchers will prevent the smudges that result from a finger touching stainless steel surfaces. The key to their approach is a special nanoparticle that is added to the coating.
Lancaster University scientists created and bio-spectrometer that will monitor the pollution level of water. Rapidly increasing pollution taking lives of tadpoles which is impacting their existence.
